Re: [Jython-dev] Building Jython projects in IntelliJ

[Jeff A. <ja...@fa...>]

One thing you could do to help would be to make a note (blog?) on how to 
set up IntelliJ to work with Jython ... assuming you succeeded.

When I search for that, the top hit is a problem report 
(https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000459524-How-can-I-setup-Jython-in-IntelliJ-IDEA-Community-Edition-2017-2) 
which I have to admit is a thing I broke on Windows. 
(http://bugs.jython.org/issue2607)

If you've set up IntelliJ so you can build Jython and fix bugs, I 
believe we have a place for you in the dev-guide, although I'm sure Jim 
would make useful additions. I think the first thing I did for the 
project was to update the notes on the Wiki on how to set up with 
Eclipse. That kind of information dates fairly quickly and what I found 
was out of date (as what I last wrote now is).

I also have to build Jython outside the IDE when I want to be sure what 
I'm getting. (It depends a bit what the change is.) At the moment I'm 
debugging Java 9 behaviour, but I'm building with Java 7 as the lowest 
supported version and (sadly) the only one that builds smoothly for me.
